LSU players react to RB Leonard Fournette's 'rough night'

Leonard Fournette managed to evade the media on his way out of Tiger Stadium.

Dodging Alabama's defense, on the other hand, proved a far more challenging task.

The dynamic LSU running back was bottled up by the Crimson Tide on Saturday — becoming an afterthought in this rivalry game for the second straight year.

Fournette's name was never mentioned in the 21 questions asked to LSU's interim coach Ed Orgeron in the news conference that followed LSU's 10-0 loss to Alabama.

The 35 rushing yards he accumulated on 17 carries sufficiently told his story. Once again, Alabama's defense was Fournette's kryptonite.
